Owlofcreamcheese posted:special sentient samwhich Yeah, that was... disturbing in its own way. The Blank Eyed Girl ep was super creepy. It didn't play out the way it seemed like it was going to, and the ending was like something out of Miyazaki.

This week's episodes have been great so far, they haven't got the stink of OTT sadness that ruined everything.

There does seem to be a conscious effort to roll back the Moynsification of the last couple of seasons. The current run of episodes has felt much more straightforward and less introspection-heavy. Not sure how I feel about that - one thing I've always liked about this show is how it escaped it's own format and always seemed to be pushing in new weird directions, but now it feels more like they're falling back on a tried and tested formula. But then, the quality of episodes is still really high, so I guess that's what matters.

I don't know why all the blank-eyed girls coming out of the woodwork was so funny, but god drat I could not stop laughing.

King's Ransom was really good. Very similar to the show's strongest eps. Lots of jokes and moved plot along. S+ Jake shapes.

So are we moving towards an IceKing/Magic Betty plot this season? I'd quite like that to be sorted out. Oh and the Blank Eyed Girls episode creeped me out a fair bit.

Funniest scene this week: Jake summoning extra black-eyed girls with his clarinet. Creepiest scene this week: BMO making a sandwich. It was a good Adventure Time Week, even without Princess Bubblegum.

a whole week of episodes and we got like a page and a half of new posts, I think adventure time is maybe not doing okay anymore? The episodes all seemed fine but the whole internet just did a collective "meh" over them.

It didn't help that the forums were constantly making GBS threads themselves during that time. They were mostly decent episodes. I liked them well enough.

Five episodes that didn't involve a ton of lore (except for the last one, kind of) and weren't more-artsy-than-fartsy, aired rapidly in bomb format, didn't give the internet any time to whip their dicks out and wax pretentious about them. Sounds like a great week of episodes to me.

Sounds like a great week of episodes to me. I'm catching up with the recent episodes and agreeing with this, mostly. I didn't like season 1 but this post season five stuff is like it but done right for me. I especially liked how Blank Eyed Girls was both mocking and loving towards the online horror community. It's probably my favorite episode so far, and one I'd love to show to others.

I'm not heavily invested in the overarching plot and the overall quality of Adventure Time, so take my word with a grain of salt, but I think that this was a good episode bomb. I like the episodes where it's just a kids' show and nothing related to the story happens, and the one plot-related episode already has me asking plenty of questions about what will happen next. Also, I had no idea that Lena Dunham previously voiced Betty until I read a comment thread on a different site. Apparently, she didn't return for this one. Seeing as Girls is ending in two seasons (thank God, no more of that self-obsessed vanity project), she might have more time to voice when her character inevitably returns.

I have my suspicions about that. I'm a little bothered that Betty and Gunter worked together for this thing they were doing, since Gunter being Orglaborg was the worst subplot of last season (possibly the worst of at altogether) However, I kind of think what they're doing is attempting to redeem ice king. B MO got his mind off babes and helped him tap into his still strong imagination, Gunter and B Mo both show he's capable of caring about others, and they didn't have as many jokes about him being gross and pathetic. They might be making the endgame of choosing between simon and ice king more difficult.

Acne Rain posted:I'm a little bothered that Betty and Gunter worked together for this thing they were doing I don't feel that "Gunther is really some kind of cosmic evil" was the worst thing to happen to this show (after all, Marceline's dad did hint at Gunther not being what he seems a while ago), but they really should have given his true form a much better name. Orgalorg sounds like a name a five-year-old would come up with. get that OUT of my face fucked around with this message at 07:56 on Jan 17, 2016 |

The best part of this was that it wasn't even a background gag they slipped in. He said it aloud as he read all the titles on the shelf.

Stakes killed my enjoyment in this show, for a while at least. The ending, though sweet, just put all the various different toys back in the box and shut the lid on them, and now the show's just sort of back to dicking around again. Which, yeah, cool, particularly all the BMO stuff, but that was never the version of the show I liked the most. Shame, because I actually really liked Stakes, even though it ironically removed much of the stake I had in the show itself. (Also, is LSP better now? Last time we saw her she was homeless and hearing voices, but now she's putting on big theatrical productions. Whaa?)

If you cannot like stakes for being a fun adventure because it doesn't do some major plot thing, I recommend you read the entirety of homestuck. Believe me at first it will seem like all the adventure, heavy plot elements, etc, one could ever want from a story about charming teenage characters and exactly the kind of thing one who watches adventure time and wishes the plot changed things more could want, but then you will eventually have too much of that ice cream.

The voice of the fox is always done in this weird stilted cadence and I love it for some reason. It almost sounds like the actor is mailing in the performance, but deliberately.

I like fox but at this point at has too many lonely or depressed characters between fox, banana man, ice king, neptr, lsp when she actually examines her life like in the babysitting episode, probably others.

His delivery of "Look, fellas, there's never going to be a perfect baby. Times like this you just gotta dive right in" is one of my favorite lines in the entire show.

Depression, anxiety, isolation, mental illness, and all that poo poo exists but I sure doubt you see a lot of kid's media go into that, because our society stigmatizes those people and animation typically likes to deal with idealized depictions. So, if a monotone fox can deal with eating subpar babies and the demented ice mage can be friends with a robot, then maybe a kid can make it through poverty and not off themselves from loneliness. Maybe not, but it's something. I don't feel like it's "too many."

Man, what is up with this show. It got too depressing/didactic in season 6, but now the show has overcompensated too far in the other direction and it feels bland, safe and uninspired. Even the best joke so far this season is just a retelling of a joke from season 3. Oh well, we'll always have seasons 3-5 (seasons 1-2 were pretty good too).
